The Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

I have about 19 friends on MS and I have 3 on LJ... and of the 3, I live with one who hears everything first hand, another one uses MS primarily, another one NEVER even logs on (among many things she never does), and the other one can't have "friends" because his significant ( Read more... )
